Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about smoking cessation. Which of the following should the nurse identify as the first stage of her behavior change?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Precontemplation: According to evidence-based practice, the nurse should identify that precontemplation is the first stage the client will experience when using the stages of health behavior change. In this stage, the client avoids discussing the behavior and does not intend to make a change in behavior. The stages of health behavior change are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and the maintenance stage. Preparation: INCORRECT. The nurse should identify that preparation is the third stage the client will experience when using the stages of health behavior change. In this stage, the client plans to make minor changes to behavior. However, according to evidence-based practice, another stage occurs prior to the preparation stage.
